' Application me@ June 22, 1907. serial No. 380,324.

Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and.

State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folders or Envelops, of which the following is a full, clear, and exaccompanying drawing, forming part of `this specification.

My invention relates to folders or envelope,

primarily to be used in filing receptacles, but

which may be used without such receptacles; and it has for its object the production of a cheap, simple and eflicient folder for that purpose.

The novelty of my invention will be hereinafter more fully set forth `and 'specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing: Fi re 1 is a perspective view of my improved older as int ded for filing purposes. Fig. Zis a erspective view of a modification of such fo der which may be used in a'iling case or not, as desired, and which may permit of'its contents being carried around securely. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the u per end of the folder. Fig. 4 is a broken pian view of Fig. 3. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 represent modifications in the forms of tan'gs and they will be referred' to specifically hereafter.

The same numerals of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the figures.

The folder of Fig. 1 is a folio of manila paper with a bottom side 1 'and a top side 2. The bottomside has an upper satchel-1ike or'bellows flap 3 with perforations 4 in it near each end, intended to come down over flexi- Fig. 4, to hold all securely in place.

One edge of the bottom part 1 is extended to form an index as seen at 6 in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 2 the bottom part has an additional fold 7 on the side opposite the fold 2 and a bottom fiap 8, and the fold 2 of this construction has a Satchel or bellows construction similar to that of the to flap 3. This folder is intended to carry a arger amount of papers than the folder of Fig. 2 and is intended to be carried from place to lace as from 'a lawyers office to court and ack, and when closed it is secured by a string 9 to be attached in the usual way to buttons on. the fla s 7 and 2, as will be` readily understood. Wiiile I prefer to use the strip 6 vfor securing the tangs, my invention is not to be limited in this respect as the tangs might be passed directly t rough the bottom cover of the folder;

In Fig. 6 the tangs are in one piece secured by a fiat strip 11, and in Fig. 7 the tangs 5n have a right angular bottom foot 12 with projections to be inserted through the cover and then to be turned under to secure the tangs in place. In Fig. 5 the bellows strip 13 has the tangs inserted through it and it is adapted to bejglued to any folder.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim:

A folder composed of a bottom piece, a bellows flap carried thereby, retaining perforations adjacent to the free edge of said bellows flap, a tang carrying strip attached to 'said bottom and adjacent to said bellows JOHN EWING BLINE, Jn.
